M IMPROVEMENT m lRQNlNG-BOARDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,709, dated July 9,1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. M. CHILDERS, of Corry, in the county of Erie andState of Pennsylvania, have inventeda certain new and ImprovedAdjustable IroningBoard; and I do hereby declare that the followingis afull, clear, and complete description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing making part of the same.

Figure 1 is a side view of the table. Fig. 2 is a detached section. Fig.3 is a top view. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.

- SPEGIFIQATION.

- come between one thickness only of the article and the flat-iron.

The construction and practical use of the In the drawing, Fig. 3, Arepresents the table, which may be of any convenient size and of theshape shown. The table is attached to the side of the wall by means of acleat, B, Fig. 4, forming a kind of a flange crosswise and above theface of the table. Said flange is hooked into a lock, B, permanentlysecured to the wall, as shown in Fig. 1. A detached view of said lock isshown in Fig. 2.

The attachment of the table to the lock is made by inserting the cleat Bin the slot 0 of the lock. The inside of the upper edge of the slot israbbeted out to receive the cleat, and in which it is lodged, as shownin Fig. 4., thereby preventing the table from being drawn out or awayfrom the lock, and which also supports the inner end, whereas the outerend is supported in a horizontal position by the leg D hinged to theunder side of the table, and the foot of which rests against the baseboard, as shown in Fig. 1, which represents the table in position foruse. 1

The advantage of the above-described table consists in being able toiron shirts and such like garments by hanging them on the projecting endthereof, so that one thickness only of the material will be upon thetable; therefore the" work of ironing is more easily and properly done,as the garment can be turned, thereby bringing each part in successionupon the table for being ironed.

0 Mint.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-.-

The cleat B arranged transversely across the end of the board A, incombination with the lock B and hinged leg D, in the manner as and forthe purpose set forth.
